Two shirts, a 4GB USB stick, a gift card to a restaurant, a large box of
good quality chocolates, and 220$ worth of money.

Let me see...
From my grandparents (both sides) some money: For years now I've never
offered a wish they might fulfill, so I get money in order to fulfill a
wish whenever one comes up. Not that bad considering that I recently
bought a Laptop and then got sick and couldn't work for just about two
months now.
From my Dad: A book and a "Get one wish free"-Card. Again, I didn't
express anything I'd like to have, so he didn't know what to get me.
From my younger brother: A chemistry set (usally for kids age 12 or so)
to grow some crystals. Nice idea. :-)
From my older brother: Nothing, he's got no money and is basically
living off welfare.
From my oldest brother: An invititation to go bowling and spend the
night, watching a Blu-Ray Movie. I'm a movie geek, so that's nice. :-)
From my best friend: She got me the book "Rumo - Wonders in the Dark",
which is actually a german book called "Rumo : Die Wunder im Dunkeln",
was written by the german author Walter Moers, whom I've grown to like
(at least the stories taking place in his imaginative and hilarious
world of Zamonien).
From my mom: Nothing, so far, but just now I'm figuring that I should
call her. I was a little stressed with university, work, sickness and
preparations, so that kinda slipped my mind... I'll get to it now!
Regards,
Tim

Only two? At least here there are three official (ie. law-enforced) free
days.

Last toaster started emitting smoke. That was after the racks stopped
working, and the dial stopped adjusting how dark the toast got. It
really was time for a new one.

The kind for the kitchen. Not the kind for display in the living room or
something.
Living room knife displays are something I would have had to pick out,
not something someone could have given me as a gift. ;-)

Me either. That's why it's a toy, not a real one.

Oh! So that's what it means. I must get a new one then :)
BTW No one mentions a 4 day stay in hospital without wanting to talk about it.
You can tell me I'm a first aider and a sympathetic listener. All in the
strictest confidence, you understand. :)
I hope that it wasn't too serious. No one likes a visit there especially not at
Christmas time.
Regards
Stephen

Indeed. I visited hospital once, and it was miserable. And I was only in
there for about 20 minutes. Went to visit my mum. Not sure why we
bothered though... she was so totally out of it.
They gave her a box with a button on it. When you press the button, it
injects morphine into the drip. She had her thumb pressed down on that
button continuously, with a vice-like grip. [Obviously, the machine cuts
out once the maximum dose is reached. I doubt my mum would have
understood such a concept at that moment...]

Nothing wrong with hospitals. I do sometimes three in one day.
Last august when I had overstretched my ankle I had to stay at home for
nearly two weeks. I was really glad to be recovered enough to go to the
hospital again. But I guess that does not count ;)
